Thanks for your careful review and suggestion.

It is not like the common get/put semantic
As invalidate and reclaim can be called concurrently,
this refcount would become minus.
we have to check the refcount and meanwhile handle
whether it is on the tree.

Sorry for that, I intended to move them to zswap_entry_put(), but I forgot.

It is a better way to avoid minus refcount !
